Two masses m₁ and m₂ (m₁ > m₂) are connected by a massless, flexible, inextensible string passed over a massless and frictionless pulley. The acceleration of the centre of mass is [J&K CET 2005]

Answer: (A)

Solution

Each mass accelerates with magnitude a = (m₁−m₂)g/(m₁+m₂), in opposite directions. = [m₁a − m₂a]/(m₁+m₂)
